We have token very liltlo stock in
the prophecien of obscure or inspir
ed organs on the Mainland and here
nrediotinc the retirement from
publio offioe of Governor Dole We
had the same feeling in regard to
the relations of Dole and the Wash
ington government as we had in the
Humphreys incident That is we
felt sure that Washington would
tell us to fight our own battleB
work out our own silvation and re
gain iu the state of tent of capaci
ty of self government for the
period for which Dole Humphreys
and otbersj were appointed by the
President J
We are inclined to change out
views now Wo pubMsh below n
nrtiolo from Leslies Weekly and
the character of that journal is
such that ohargo3 of inspiration or
ignorance would not btick for a
moment When Leslies Weekly
predicts the speedy retirement of
Govornor Dole and tho journal ad
mits that it was through Doles
misrepresentations not to say false
hoods that Hawaii was annexed
them are reasons to believe that the
Washington Government will sacri
fice any amount of Doles to secure
harmony in the new territory and
paoify the Hawaiians
Leslies Weeklys article reade
Reoont events in Hiwaii indicate
the approaching retirement of Gov
ernor Sanford B Dole the man who
has been at the head of all the va
rious governments tho Hawaiiau
Islands have known sinoo the day
in 1893 when the monarchy was
first overthrown Ha wa chief
justice of tho Supreme Court at the
time of this first Buooossful revolt
againBt the Hawaiian royal line and
resigned tho office to become Presi
dent of the provisional government
Since the day when he hid aside the
robes of a supremo justice and took
up the powers of a ruler Ssoford B
Dole has known uo rest from con
stant and iudesuribiliiy bitter criti
cism Ameriuana who thought that
the Hawaiians wanted annexation
heoause they did not fijht against
it have since learned otherwise Tho
Hawaiians in fact are not paoifijd
yet as the ejection last fall and the
events of tho present legislative sav
eion have shown The most natural
target for them and for the not in
considerable element among the
whites who sympathized with them
for one reason or another was and
is the man who took tho leadership
in the first steps that proved fatal
to the Hawaiian monarchy For
seven years from 1893 when the
Queen was deposed to 1900 when
Xg
Hawaii received th benefit of a
government provided by Congress
Sanford B Dole held the reins of
government in the turbulent littlo
nation passing through several roy
nlist plots and rvolt and leading a
hard campaign of five years in be
half of annexation to tho United
States When this oampatgii was
won and Congress made Hawaii an
American Territory Dole was ap
pointed first Governor and the
events that havo followed have driv
en him into lotirement soriously
suffHriug from nervous prostration
In Honolulu there is a very general
impression tb3t Governor Djle
would like to resign as well as that
his state of health may finally com
pel him to do so He has been un
der Buoh coustant fire ever since
1893 that resignation must have al
ways appeared to him objectionable
aa yielding and until the present
momejt when his thorough seclu
sion has for the time caused him to
be lost sight of thero hss never
been a time when bin resignation
would not have been regarded as a
triumph of hia enemies perhaps as
a retreat in fear of an oft and confi
dently prttlioted removal The
retirement of Governor DjIo from
publio life will remove a figure that
was very prominently before the
Americans for some years while the
Hawaiian controversy lasted and it
will take from Hawaiiau affairs one
who more than any other man holds
the credit for piloting the little
country through an extraordinary
series of difficulties
We do not want Dole to be re
legated to privacy on account of
1893 We would be willing to for
get his treaohery his violation of his
solemn oaths and his perjury gen
nerally if he had turned out to be
the right man to conduct the pffiira
of this young territory He has
been weighed and found wanting
He has been unable toforget that
he no longer is en wrapped in the
powers of a tyrant beading a pro
visional government Ha surrounds
himself with the narrow minded
clique of the family compact and
retains his ministers and Execu
tive Council Ho deigus to allow
important proclamations in regard
to national matters stirring tho
hearts of the whole civilized world
to go forth signnd by a typewriter
iu his oifice He absents himself
from meetings held by oitizeus at
which regrets and sorrow are bx
pressed by hub and low by Ameri
can citizens and foreigners residing
under the flag which oovar3 the bier
of William MjKinley His health
is broken down aud ho is physically
unfit to attend to tne business of
tho Territory Ho and his tools iu
the Legislature hampered progress
delayed work wasted the valuable
time of the brief session and then
had the audacity to blame aud
abuse the Hawaiian member who
were willing and anxious to get
down to business instetd of listen
ing to the Dole obstruotiojists iu
the Senate and House
Then Mr Dole doolind to extend
tho session although he knew that
the first meeting of a Leginlaturo
under the changed conditions would
naturally be unsatisfactory on ac
count of the in experienoe of the1
legislators In fact he did not give
the Legislature a fair show because
he Bourbou as he is can not un
derstand that a governor is the ser
vant not the master of the people
He has not mustered up sufilment
courage to call an extra session al
though he is well aware that the
treaaury ib oryiug for fuuda and
that on November 15th two local
banka will present their I O Ua
for a quarter of a million dollars
for cash loaned to Doles bankrupt
government When approached on
such matters of enormous import
ance to the taxpayers the governor
becomes dazid cannot remember
anything and takes refuge in the
Puuwaawaa forests where no news
papersnot eveu The Independent
reach him
Wo pity him for his illness and
failing health but bueiuosB is bug
noss in this wtrld and Mr DjIo
ought to ba tho first man to ac
knowledge that he is not fit to be
at the head of our little government
and that he feels compelled to re
sign or rotire or do any other old
thing as long as he gits That
his retirement will be a blow to th i
family ootnpact is undeniable but
really the compact doesnt neod
further subsidies It is said that
tho Kohalr watar scheme didnt
materialize but even that- defeat
will hardly hi felt by Doles real
lifpiuards those who promoted
pantatious nd filled their coffers
with the ther fellows coin As to
Dolett xuccessor we can say nothing
until Hrtnnery Cooper formerly of
Manoi and now of Pearl Harbor
returns from Washington w th a
new capacious carpet bag
